The Chinese symbols that bring you luck

Posted on August 2, 2010December 3, 2011 by News Health

From Chinese characters and statues of dragons to golden cats and red envelopes, Chinese good luck symbols take many forms.

Chinese Characters: A Symbol of Good Luck

One of the most popular Chinese symbols of good luck is the pinyin characters for fu which represents good luck or good fortune. An ancient Chinese tradition that dates back to the Zhou Dynasty, which began in 256 B.C., and is still practiced during the Chinese Spring Festival and Chinese New Year, is hanging a fu symbol on your front door. In ancient times the fu symbol was used to keep away the Goddess of Poverty. In modern times the symbol represents a year of good luck, prosperity and happiness.

Artists draw many fu symbols in calligraphy with black ink on red paper and hung in homes to attract positive energy. These beautiful good luck symbols are also popular on jewelry as charms and pendants.

Other Chinese characters representing good luck include:

* Xi – Popular at Chinese weddings this symbol represents double happiness and good luck.
* He – Represents good luck with people and harmonious relationships.
* Ji – Stands for good luck and a wish that all is well
* Lu – Represents prosperity, good fortune and wealth

Chinese Good Luck Symbols

There are many Chinese symbols of good luck that are represented by objects each having a strong purpose and significant meaning. Often used in the practice of feng shui, good luck symbols strengthen positive energy, rejuvenate stagnant energy and act as cures as they draw auspicious chi into the home or workplace.

Chinese dragon

The Chinese dragon, considered the Supreme Being of all creatures, symbolizes good luck, success and protection. There are nine different Chinese dragons:

* Golden dragon
* Earth dragon
* Sea dragon
* Wind dragon
* Fire dragon
* Water dragon
* Heavenly dragon
* Mountain dragon

When used as a feng shui cure, dragon statues are generally placed in the east side of a home or workspace. The dragon symbol attracts good luck and success while protecting you from negative energy.

Turtle Dragon

The turtle dragon, a unique mystical creature with the body of a tortoise and the head of a dragon, brings good luck to those that display it in their home. A turtle dragon statue has a baby turtle on its back and is sitting on a pile of gold ingots and coins. This good luck piece is rich in symbolism:

* The turtle is a symbol of longevity
* The dragon symbolizes power, success, determination and courage
* The gold ingots are symbols of prosperity and wealth
* The ancient Chinese coins are a symbol of good luck in financial matters and an increasing income
* The baby turtle is a symbol of wonderful good luck for all descendants

Golden Cat

According to Chinese mythology, cats were symbols of protection against evil. Because of their good vision in the dark, they could see the evil spirits and frighten them away before they could do harm.

A two-sided statue, the golden cat is an unusual feng shui symbol of good luck, abundance and protection. On one side of the statue a smiling cat with a raised paw attracts wealth and represents good luck, abundance and good fortune. When the statue is turned around, a frowning cat holding up a broom provides protection as it sweeps away your troubles and worry.
Statues of Buddha

Buddha statues are available in many styles and designs. One of the most popular Buddhas is the Laughing Buddha, sometimes called the Happy Buddha. The Laughing Buddha with his round belly and big smile is a symbol of good luck, abundance and prosperity.

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

    perhaps you have heard of the modern Kinect? Its definitely awesome! I never had much fun playing mmorpgs before, eventhough I will call myself a new hardcore player this usually plays video games like Call of Duty and the like. The Kinect is just so different than other things I have previously played before. the motion controles work really well, and plus, but not the need to use a controller to experience is the personification regarding freedom! No bothersome button smashing yeast infection, a single word is enough! You should think about getting some sort of Kinect!.
